English Gaelic Dictionary
Many people use online dictionaries. These take many forms. One popular type is a language to language work like an English Gaelic dictionary. These are more like translators than dictionaries.
In the old days in language if someone wanted an English Gaelic dictionary they would have a book. People would find their word to see the translation. For instance a person would find the phrase where is the airport to get the translation. Sometimes people would look up things the wrong way and come up with words that really didn’t make sense in the context they were spoken.
An online English Gaelic dictionary is an automated translator. It allows people to enter in phrases, words, or even a whole block of text . The translation is complete in seconds. A web site can even be translated except for any images or text as graphics.
In the early Internet days surfers browsed to the Babelfish English Gaelic dictionary. Alta Vista now owns it. Many people used it. People love new technology. It was often used by people who chatted with others who spoke different languages. The translations weren’t always terrific.
One test of the English Gaelic dictionary was to translate one way then back to the original. The result was sometimes a whole new sentence or text. For example translating the phrase I want a cake from language A to language B and then back to language A might result in something like a cake is mine. This was a good way to come up with alternate versions of a sentence or paragraph, but it proved the translation wasn’t really up to par.
Recently Google has come up with a translation service that includes an English Gaelic dictionary. Google’s service is superior to the old one. Translate to ten different languages and then back – the text will be the same. Now people can’t perform rewrites of sentences and paragraphs. But they may be receiving better translations.
In ancient times there were scholars would perform translations. An English Gaelic dictionary was unheard of. Now you can feel like a king thanks to the Internet.
